Typical liberal....decides that the innaguration numbers (which were the reason for the post and which can't changHow many years outdated is that chart?Oops....I already nailed you on those same lies, so what do you do as a worthless lying scum POS CON$ervoFascist, you just parrot the same lies over again.Dude...unemployment was something like 6.5%. Gas was something like $1.35 the day Obama was sworn into office.
You really hate facts more than anyone here, uh?
The U-3 was 7.8% and skyrocketing and the U-6 was 14.2% and skyrocketing when Bush left.

Bwahahahaha!!!! Um....how does that work exactly?!? How does an economy make a drastic recovery in spite of the economic policies that you claim don't work?!?When Carter left office there was no recession, Reagan's policies created one of the worst since the Great Republican Depression. The economy recovered in spite of Reagan, not because of St Ronnie!!!Um....junior? When Jimmy Carter was in office - there was a major energy crisis. People would wait in line for hours when a gas station finally received a delivery and then some would end up leaving without gas anyway. Interest rates were insane - like 20% or something. The reason Carter was a one pump chump was because the economy was such a train wreck. That's why the American people ousted a sitting president (a very rare occurrence) and turned to Ronald Reagan. And he delivered in a huge way. By the time he left office in 1988, the economy was booming.Reagan took office Jan 1981, the Reagan Recession began at the end of 1982, so Carter had nothing to do with the Reagan Recession, which at the time was the worst since the Great Republican Depression.Bwahahaha! That's why Jimmy Carter collapsed the U.S. economy and by the time Ronald Reagan left 8 years later, it was booming. Conversely, Barack Obama stepped into an economy that was doing just fine (unemployment was somewhere around 6.5% if I remember correctly on the day he was sworn in), and then he promptly went out and collapsed everything. It ballooned to over 10% on his watch (and in actuality, it was more like 16%) despite the fact that he guaranteed the American people if they dropped over a trillion dollars in stimulus, unemployment wouldn't even hit 8%.
Facts. They are a bitch, eh Faun?
UE was 7.8% and skyrocketing when Bush left, or if we are using the "more like" rate 14.2%. The stimulus was $787 billion, NOT over a trillion, 1/3 of which was tax cuts, and the skyrocketing Bush unemployment was already over 8% by the time the stimulus was signed, and nearly 16% on the "more like" scale.
Would you like to try again?
